The progress of Mauritius, as the chief seat of the produc tion of sugar by free labour, has been such as t ) create a large and valuable landed property, which affords an excel lent field for the operation of a Land Mortgage Bank or Credit Fonder. The following table of the exports of sugar from Mauritius gives the best pro , f of this progress, and shows how firmly the prosperity of the colony is now established : Tons. 1850 1851 1852 • 1853 92.012 1854 1855 1856 1857 1858 1859 1860 The crop of 1861, owing to a hurricane, only produced 108,000 tons, but that of 1862 reached 160,000 tons, This production tends every year to increase with the f ,ei lities of obtaining labour from India, with extended cultiva tion and irrigation, and with the establishment of railroads, which are in course of execution, and will be partially open to traffic in the early part of this year. At the present rate of production the annual value of the sugar crop may be t ,ken at £3,00 ~ 000, and the fee-simple value of the sugar e ,tates at £6,000,000 ; in addition to which there is a large amount of real property in lands, houses, and other forms. There is also great scope for useful outlay of capital in im provements on estates, by erecting new machinery, clearing waste lands, and irrigating. The rate of interest is exceedingly high, and a rate equal to 10 per cent. per annum, or 8 per cent. interest, with 2 per cent. co dimission, would be readilypaid on loans redeemable by annuities, and with a security never less than double the advance. It is estimated that a sum of £2,000,000 might be safely in vested at this rate. Supposing £1,000,000 only to be invested at a difference of 4 per cent. between the rate paid upon bonds in England and received sort Mauritius, it is evident that the profit on the paid-up pion of the share capital, which would not exceed £lOO,OOO or £150,000, would be very large. The remainder of the share capital of £500,000, together, with the amount of first mortgages on fi rs t-class real pro perty, which would always equal the amount of bonds issued, would thus give these bonds an unexceptionable security. The legislation of Mauritius affords great advantages for the establishment of a Credit Fonder, It is the same as that of the French Code Civi7, and a law providing a simple and effective registration of all mortgages has just been passed for the express purpose of facilitating the establishment of Companies to lend upon land. Under these circumstances an application has been made to the Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank of India, on be halt ofCounc a large number of the principal members of the Legis lative Council and Landed Proprietors of Mauritius, to esta- Wish a branch there. The Di , ectors of the Land Mortgage Bank were of opinion that Mauritius promised an excellent field of operations, but as the nature of the properties and tenures of land are diffe rent from those of India, to which the original subscriptions of their stank were invited, it was thought better to rai , e a separate capital and constitute anew Company, which, while connected with the Mortgage Bank by friendly relations, should yet be a distinct institution. The close connection between Mauritius and India renders this alliance peculiarly desirable, and will be the means of securing valuable busi ness to the new Company, while the expenses of an office and establishment in London will be diminished by mutually advantageous arrangements. A deposit of £2 is payable on allotment, and calls by in stalments up to £lO per share will be made, atter which it is intended to issue Bonds. The Articles of Association lie at the offices of the Solici tors for inspection. Applications may be made in the annexed form, addressed to the Offices of the Land Mortgago Bank of India (Limited), Change-alley, or to the Brokers. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

Yesterday av adjourned meeting of the National Shakspere Committee took place at the Rooms of the Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi, to receive a report from the Site and Monument Committee, and a report from the Dramatic and Entertainment Committee; the Duke of ➢ianchester in the chair. Mr. HEPWORTH DIXON, one of the honorary secretaries, having read the minutes of the last meeting, The Bight Hon. W. CowrElt, M.P., rose to move the adoption of resolutions embodying the first mentioned report. He said he was a member of a committee of gentlemen who were appointed to meet and consider what they could recommend as the most fitting memorial this could be erected to the genius of Shakspere, and also as the most desir able site that could be chosen for such a purpose. As he had the honour of being chairman of that committee, it became his duty to propose the reso lutions now in his hands. The committee had pro ceeded in a simple and business-like way, feeling that they had a practical duty before them, viz., to give effect to the general wish of those who had taken part in the arrangements, that there should be erected ia the metropolis some monumental piece of sculpture, such as would satisfy the requirements of a nation which desired to do honour to him who was on the whole, perhaps, the greatest man the country ever produced. They were the more anxious to pay respectful attention to any sugges tions that might be made to them, because it was known that of la;,e years the public had got into the habit of erecting statues to those great men whose deeds they desired to commemorate. They had adopted the principle in reference to many distinguished personages, renowned either in military annals or for their political achieve ments ; but though they had recently paid the like tribute to Dr. Jenner, the monuments to men who had not attained either military or po litical distinction were comparatively few. The public feeling was now, however, coming round very much to the adoption of the same practice which was followed ore the continent, in erecting statues to those who had cast lustre on their coun try by works far removed from the deeds of mili tary or political heroes. Hence there was very little doubt that the great bulk of the people were of opinion that the best mode of commemorating the birth of Shakapere would be by raising a statue to him, and not only a statue on a pedestal but covered by some form of canopy. They were not driven to the Gothic style of architecture, or to the correct art of classic times, but it was thought that the best school they could adopt was that of the time in which Shakepere lived, (Hear, hear.) It was not for the committee to enter into minute de tails, as they looked forward to the time when all the artistic talent in the country would furnish de signs for the monument. But, next, they had to consider the question of the site; and here he might observe that as these meetings had gone on quite long enough without coming to any practical deci sion, the only way in which they could carry out their object—if it was to be carried out at all—was by uniting together with one accord and stating what they wished to be done. If much more time were lost in doubts, difficulties, discussions, and disputes, the whole affair must come to a n end. But be thought it must be admitted that the time which had been expended had not been wasted, and the period had now arrived when they must agree to take decisive action. In considering the question as to the site, they thought that on the whole the balance of advantage would be in favour of the Green-park, near Piccadilly. The statue could be seen at that spot from all sides, and would certainly be an ornament to the metropolis. The situation was central, and a view of it could be cotuni Aided from Piccadilly, ties Green-pack and St. James's-park. The committee did not know at present that the site could b e ob tained, but when the euestion should be finally de cided they had only to mske proper ttpplic se ion in the ordinary way, and their epislicatio n wou ld doubtless receive lilac attention. At all events the committee had now eu tec: a ' gees eprectlcal site ; and there was another one watch had been proposed, viz , in the neighbourhood of the Temple, on the new embankment about t 0 be made • but that si, had this disadvantage,' • that it did not exist, and was only speeulative. lln three or four years time the embankment might exist, but at present it was not desirable to adopt it as a site fur the purposes of this comraiti ee, us it was really under water. He therefore movtd the following report be received— ) " The following members of the site and monument SOHO ESTATE, HOUSE, AND GENERAL BUSINESS AGENCY OFFICES.—Persons requiring Freehold or Leasehold Property, or having .

TATTERSALL' S.-MONDAY. The interior of the subscription-room was the scene of considerable bustle and moving to and fro, but the amount of business transacted was by no means up to what might have been expected from such a numerous attendance. Still there were several stiffiish investments, especially for the Derby; but betting on the great handicaps was any thing but animated. Bantam, who had been for some days threatening to depose the reigning favourite, Emblem, for the Liverpool Grand National, did so this afternoon most decisively, 11 to 1 being taken about "The Bant," while Lord Coventry's mare receded to 100 to 6 taken. Wee Nell also declined a point or two, 14 to 1 being offered, although we were told that, at the commencement of business, 13 to was booked about her. The Chester Cup was again mysterious ; at one period of the afternoon Change had decidedly the call, as little as 20 to 1 having been taken kindly, but soon afterwards Blackdown " came" again, and 20 to 1 was accepted to some money, although at the finish those odds ware obtainable. 1,000 to 45 was taken about Change in one bet; and Accident, Anfield, and Golden Pledge were each supported at 25 to 1. Thirty " centuries" were entrusted to Carisbrook, notwithstanding the declaration of his owner that the horse will be announced in the next sheet calendar to be sold, with his engagements. For the Derby 10 to 1 was offered on the field. Coast Guard was somewhat steadier than last week, 15 to 1 being taken, and the same about Cambuscan. A somewhat daring spe culator offered 25 to 1 against Forager, which was at once snatched up; layers then became chary, and after several investments were made at 20 to 1, backers were contented to take two points less, and in one instance which came under our notice 300 to 18 was booked. 23 to 1 was offered agst Historian, and Blair Athol would seem to have fairly discovered that there is a screw loose somewhere, as 25 to 1 did not bring many friends to the rescue. Of the long list of "outsiders" Strafford was supported for most money, 1,000 to 15 having been taken fifteen times about him.

There was a large muster at the Subscription Rooms this day. Bantam was chosen the favourite for the Liverpool Steeplechase, and closed at 11 to 1 (taken freely), Emble matic, Martha, Serious Case, and Thomastown were in demand at the prices quoted; but, notwithstanding the support awarded to Emblematic, Emblem remained steady at 100 to B.—Speculation on the Chester Cup was of a peculiar character; but it was evident there was money for Change, Blackdown, Carisbrook, and Little Stag ; and, at any advance on the prices named, Change and Carisbrook would have been invested on.—For the Waterloo Cup, the nominations of Lord Lurgan, Messrs. 11.

This Company is formed, nut for the purpose of establish ing a new Marine Insurance Office in rivalry with offices already opened, but with the object of continuing the existing Maritime Insurance business so long conducted by Mr. Henry Case, under the firm of Price and Co., in Exchange-buildings, Liverpool. Mr. Case's services, as underwriter, have been secured upon terms satisfactory to the Directors, dependent in part upon the success of the Company, and without the payment of any," promotion money," either in cash or shares. It is anticipated that whilst the extensive connection al ready possessed by Messrs. Price and Co. will be retained and consolidated by the formation of a Company, the busi ness will, at the same time, be considerably increased. The success which has attended the operations of Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be gathered from the present value of their Shares in the market, viz. : Amount Present Equal paid. price. to The Thames and Mersey £2 £7 0 0 250 per cent pm.

Wm. Cowper, M.P., chairman ; the Duke of Manchester; Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P.; Wm. Tite, M.P. ; T. S. Donaldson, president of the Institute of British. Architects ; F. Gil° Hurlstone, president of the Society of British Artists; W. Hepworth Dixon, F.S.A.; Daniel Maclise, R.A.; Clarkson Stanfield, R.A.; David Roberts, R.A.; J. 0. Halliwell, F.R.S. ; George Godwin, F R,S. ; Henry Ottley." Mr. TITE, M.P., seconded the motion, observing that he thought the time of the committee had been usefully employed, and it was certainly evident that the opinion of the public had pretty well cen tred in the adoption of a memorial in the form now proposed. It had been the practice is continental cities to commemorate the virtues • of dis- . tinguishcd men by the erection of monu ments in large civics, but at present no pali• lie statue of the immortal SliAliere existed in the metropolis of England, and it was really a disgrace to the cc'untry that such a desideratum should have remained so long unsupplicd. The Green Park seemed& most desirable spot for the erec tion of the memorial, if her Majesty would grant them permission to use it for the purpose. The report was then unanimously received. Mr. GEORGE GODWIN congratulated the meeting upon the unanimity which earned to prevail, and. expressed himself most approvingly in regard to the choice of the Green Park as the site for the proposed memorial. He moved : " That the recommendations of the Site and Monument Committee be printed for circulation among the subscribers, and that the following members of that committee be solicited to act as an executive,to bring the matter fairly before the public, appeal for subscriptions, obtain designs, and hereafter report to this committee the steps, they have taken towards carrying into effect the wishes of the subscribers :—The Duke of Manches ter, the Right Hon. William Cowper, M.P. ; Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P.; William Tite, Esq., M.P.; J. A. R. Beresford Hope, Esq.; D. Maclise, R.A.; Professor Donaldson." Captain KNOLLYS seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr. STERLING COYNE then presented the follow ing report from the Dramatic and Entertainment Committee ; " Your committee beg leave to report that in pure suance of instructions received from the council, they have, in conjunction with the dramatic secretaries, endeavoured to secure the co-operation of theatrical managers, musical, dramatic, and other artists in town and country, for the attainment of the objects they have in view. These objects are twofold :—ln the first place, to obtain pecuniary aid to the fund of the National Shakspere Com mittee; and secondly, to organise an artistic celebration of the three hundredth birthday of Shakspere by means of representations of the great dramatist's works in all the London theatres; by performance of Shakspearian music on a grand scale, with large choral effec's ; and by a miscel laneous entertainment by popular artists at St. James's-hall, on the 23d of April next. Your com mittee have the gratification of being able to report that in a great majority of cases their appeal has been met by expressions of the warmest sympathy, and promises of cordial support from those gentle.. men who preside over London theatres, as well as from leading artists connected more or less directly with the drama. The lessees of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane, Covent-garden, Haymarket, Princess's, Adelphi, and Lyceum, have already promised per formances in aid of the fund, and since the last general meeting of the committee Messrs. Shepherd and Anderson, of the Surrey Theatre, and Mrs. Swanborough, of the Strand Theatre, have also offered an evening at their theatres. • AppEcations have been made to the other London managers, but replies have not been received from them. Circu lars have been recently forwarded to 43 of the principal provincial managers in the United King dom, inviting their co-operation and assistance, and your committee are in expectation of early and favourable responses to their appeal. The musical profession has generously come forward with offers of service, and this committee are now engaged in making arrangements under the skilful and expe rienced direction of Mr. Jules Benedict, conductor of the Vocal Association, for a grand concert of Shakspearian music, to be given on the 231 April, in some suitable hall or theatre. The com mittee further announce, with great plea s ure, that Mr. G. W. Martin has organised, in conjunction with the National Choral Society, a choir of 1,000 voices, and that he has liberally offered to give by this choir a performance of Handel's "Messiah," on some even ing prior to the 231, on behalf of the fund, in addi tion to which Shakspearian music is already in re hearsal, with a view to a grand celebrative concert by the same great body of vocalists at Exeter hall, on the tercentenary day. Mr. T. German Reed has also kindly volunteered his professional assist ance in any way the committee may think it avail able, It is hoped that a new composition by a cele brated composer may be amongst the musical at tractions ot one of these performances. The miscel laneous entertainment on April 23 will be supported (circumstances permitting) by those popular artists, Mr. and Mrs. German Reed, Mr. J. Parry, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul, Mr. Arthur Sketchley, Mr. Woodin, Mr. J. E. Carpenter, &c. Mr. German Reed has in the most handsome manner offered the free use of the Gallery of Illustration for an entertainment or concert, any Saturday evening the committee may require it. Mr. Woodin has in like manner offered the use of the Polygraphic Hall. Negotiations are pending with Mr. Gye, and with the directors of the Crystal Palace, for dramatic and musical performances on a grand scale, and arrange ments are being made for mixed readings from the works of Shakspere, by distinguished artists." Mr. TITE then moved a vote of thanks to the Duke of Manchester for his kindness in taking the chair on the occasion, and his Grace having expressed his acknowledgments, Mr. L. Banks said he had another report to present, whereupon the noble chair man stated that the business of the meeting would be resumed. Mr. BANKS then brought forward the following report of the committee for forming committees in aid :—"The committee report that they attended on Wednesday evening, Feb. 10, a meeting of the representatives of certain trade societies, and that such representatives had agreed to form a com mittee to co-operate with the aid committee in carrying out a plan to celebrate the tercen tenary commemoration, and also to contribute to the subscription for the proposed national monument to Shakspere. In pursuance of the resolution adopted at this meeting, at which Mr. Richard Moore took the chair, and addresses had, been made to 400 of the trade societies in the met ro ., politan district, requesting each society to Lend a delegate or delegates to a public meeting to be held at the Whittington Club, on Wednesday, th e 9 th al of March. The aid committee beg to report t his pro ceeding as one of considerable i mportance to the movement, being calculated to enlist the sympathies ea a nd assistance of the actual wor ki ng out the kingdom, and con sequently tol create through out o o g trulyll: national demonstration on the 23d Ap r il." Mr. TOMLINS seconded the motion for receiving this report, which was agreed to. Mr. WEBSTER he trusted that, in the event of there bein g any s asidurplue money after payment of the expenses attending the erection of a suitable memorial, the ms of the Royal Dramatic College would not be claims forgotten. The establishment of an institution in be a the shape of Shakspere schools would fitting encouragement to young pupils to take advantage of such a system of education as would qualify them to enoble the dramatic profession to Which they might afterwards belong. Mr. W. MARSTON said that no scheme the com mittee might have in view in connexion with the Shakspere Memorial could possibly command more interest and attention than th? cpplication of a por tion of the funds to some such object as Mr. Web ster had brought forward. Mr. WEBSTER was about to move a resolution on the subject, but Mr. Hepworth Dixon and Mr. Tite promised that his suggestion should receive every posF,iblo consideration when the time shonid tarire; The business then terminated, and it ie v 0 7 1 2; 5 1 1 mention that great satisfaction was xPraud feeling ot harmony and unanimity whirl' pre vailed throughout the proceeding& , /3 s tarn e s. umeoin Chester Cup, Liverpool Chase , Guineas.
